Phase 2 Contaminated Land Investigations & Assessments – (Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment)
A site highlighted with potential problems from a Phase 1 land assessment or a location known to have a potentially contaminative history will likely require a Phase 2 Site Investigation. The purpose of the investigation will aim to quantify any land contamination based on in-situ data collected from the actual site which will then be interpreted and evaluated.
A Phase 2 study will confirm either way if the site poses an unacceptable risk to human health or the wider environment. It will also inform whether land remediation action is required. A Phase 2 assessment will incorporate the following:
- Review of all Phase 1 land data and investigations and refinement of conceptual site model
- Consultation with regulating bodies
- Intrusive Site Investigation for the collection of environmental samples to quantify contamination to BS10175 UK Government guidelines.
- Risk Assessment / Report in order to assess the potential risks to human health and environmental receptors to UK Government specification CLR11
- The assessment is used to evaluate the need for and extent of remedial action necessary depending upon end use.
